Marc Simont and Ruth Krauss
Imagine your whole day lived backward,
from beginning to end. When you got up, you’d put on your jacket, then
your shirt and pants, and over those your underwear, because after all,
backward is backward, and on a backward day backward is the way
everything has to be. You’d walk downstairs backward and sit on your
chair backward with your back to the table, and when your parents
greeted you in the morning you’d say, of course, “Good night.” But how
long can a backward day go on? Just long enough for a smart kid to
reverse the spell he’s cast on the whole household and return everything
to normal. The Backward Day,
a delightfully stylish picture book by the Caldecott Prize–winning team
of Marc Simont and Ruth Krauss, brings to life a humorous and engaging
reversal of ordinary reality that will enchant young children, as well
parents.
